Where to Go

Updated Feb. 12, 2001 12:01 a.m. ET

If you're looking for baseball cards -- or for most anything -- eBay (www.ebay.com ) is a good bet. Just make sure you avoid the chief peril of online auctions: getting caught up in auction fever. Keep in mind (as I, well, usually do) that you never "win" an auction -- all you're rewarded with is the right (the obligation, in fact) to buy something. If you remember that, you'll be less likely to wind up paying $5 more than you wanted to just to beat out that evildoer who had the gall to outbid you.
